manage.py dbshell problem on Windows

[anonymous]

Hello,

I have a problem on my laptop when I run this command: "manage.py runserver" I get this error message:

C:\yml\_myScript_\dj_things\web_development\workspace\dj_project>manage.py dbshell
Traceback (most recent call last):

OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Also the rest of the framework is working just fine. I was running from the trunk on windows with python 2.5. Then I try to use the unicode branch same result. Then I have updated from python 2.5 to 2.5.1 same result.

Thank you for your help

It seems you are using dj_project as your Django project name. This name should be a valid Python module name (see the Note here ​http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/tutorial01/#creating-a-project) and dj_project isn't.

Disregard my previous post (I remember having some problems when using _ in a project/app name that I solved renaming them; but now I'm testing things with a dummy project and if works Ok).

Reading the complete traceback (what I shold have done first :) it seems you don't have the mysql.exe (does such thing exist?) MySQL command line client accesible via the PATH envvar.

I finally manage to test this on a Linux box and it is working fine there. I am assuming that this bug is a windows only or it is linked to the configuration of this particular computer.

So, can this ticket be closed?

I confirm that this issue was due to the fact that mysql.exe was not in my path. I set this ticket as invalid.
Thank you for your help
